After the successful Artemis I uncrewed flight around the Moon in 2022, Artemis II is the next step in our journey from the Moon to Mars. This mission will be the Artemis program’s first crewed mission, with four astronauts flying around the Moon in 10 days. This flight will confirm the systems and hardware necessary for human deep space travel. Artemis II is scheduled for no later than April 2026.
